I think I started out using Meg's QD but switched to Optimum Instant Detailer because it comes in a concentrate that IMO can't be beat for value. It also does work well in the off label arena. It also surprises me with it's endurance occasionally. I'm contracted by a local business to maintain their fleet of SUV's and many a time I've gone to service a car that's been used for the last 2 weeks and it's still beading. I also did a vid about 2 weeks ago on a Black Jeep that is 4 years old, never been clayed or polished and has spent most of it's life as a daily driver that was never garaged. The paint is pretty lifeless. I just NR washed it using OCW and sprayed the OID on it and I remember looking through lens at the bonnet and thinking " wow look at that reflection ". I'm sure the majority of these products work really good and would have delivered the same or similar results. Personaly I rate the gloss enhancement of OID about 8/10. Hey rougegeek if you think Sandro is a noob ( this guys a gamer for sure ) go to my channel and you'll be able to write a thesis. And remove that thumbs down, it's more a reflection of you than him.
You're right about TW being watered down too much. According to their MSDS it's about 90% water, but so is Meguiar's Synthetic Spray Wax. Meg's best ingredient is POLY(DIMETHYLSILOXANE) which is used in many of their products. Wish others would use it as well as they do. Other than that they all use Petroleum Distillates and Calcined Kaolin which is used in Nu Finish. For a great spray wax you can dilute 2 - 3 oz. of TW Liquid Hardshell into 28 oz. of distilled water.
It doesn't get more comprehensive and thorough than that! You already have the best channel with the most extensive real work detailing knowledge, but now you're just showing off! Haha, keep them coming Sandro!! -Matt (Kansas city, Kansas)
I am a professional detailed from Long Island New York. You need to get something called Ride and Shine. It's from a company called Shine Supply and they are based in California. I have tried them all, and there is nothing like this anywhere. It is smoother and glossier than reload (and I basically use all Car Pro products)It's a detail spray though, not a sealant but it's the most amazing thing in the world. I don't know if you ever heard of it. Shine Supply has amazing products.
Ross Lesser I use one of the best detail sprays nobody knows about. Its a ceramic detail spray from Tamahawk USA (based in San Diego) costs about $40 a gallon and smells so amazing.. You're welcome!! tomahawkusa.com/product/ceramic-detail-spray-pint/
Nice review. I used the Zaino Z6 about 15 years ago (man i'm getting old lol) and I really liked it back then. What led me to your video was to see how it stacked up against newer offerings. :) Glad to see it is still worth it. Here in the states it's only about $10 US per bottle. But with shipping of course that raises the price.
I believe there's a Detailing supply place in Campbellfield,which has larger size containers of the most recognised brands like meguiars. :) Also love you channel great uploads and straight to the point and real world application and information based on real world applications as well and also for professional detailers as well ?
G'day Sandro, I had to come back to this video to mention my new favourite drying agent/sealant. Bowdens Own After Glow. Man this stuff is amazing mate. Check it out. Used with two of their big softy microfibre cloths, which are excellent btw, one damp the other dry. Spray 4 or 5 lines of after glow on the way MF and use to dry the car one panel at a time then buff dry with the dry MF. Re-apply 1 or 2 spray lines to the mf before starting a new panel. It's amazing how slick and glossy it leaves the paint and it actually leaves a sealant that has a 15 min cure time before layering another coat on if you like. I've used many detail sprays and spray waxes etc but seriously I think you would like this stuff. 😊
Hi Sandro, I'm working my way through all you videos & so far they're all great! My LSP is Reload. I'm looking for a product mainly to remove bird poo safely without compromising the protection & finish of my LSP. Would Meguiars Mist & Wipe do the job? Also Meguires in England sell Mist & Wipe as part of a clay kit with a clay bar. Like yourself I think it's brilliant if one product can do multiple tasks, but do you think Mist & Wipe would also be good as a clay lube?
Ok thank you very much for your advice, Mist & Wipe will be my QD, bird poo remover & clay lube. It costs £10 for the 473ml bottle so is good value too in my opinion. I have to say your very quick replies to pretty much every single person who messages you is very commendable, keep up the good work! Your videos are going a long way in helping me put together a good car cleaning/detailing line up for personal use, so thank you.
Hi my car is a golf midnight blue and after washing it is already dirty with water marks and etc... What is the best cleaning agent + shine? Thank you!
I have a question. does waxing your car help it in reducing the effect of color to fade when struck by sand while driving on a high speed? where I come from, there are lots of sandstorms nearly all the time and I really want to maintain my car. thanks
Car Craft Auto Detailing Thank's ,but what's a waterless wash compared to a QD? 🤔 Ech2o can be used as both, but used as a waterless wash costs a lot more.
Car Craft Auto Detailing thanks..... i 've been using poorboys spray n gloss and it works very well for me but ech2o is bit on economical side i think...
Hi Sandro, have you tried Finishcare 425 ?, I have been using the Hi Temp wax and the Finish is excellent and a top over with 425 does great justice to the gloss and slick feel.....Thanks, Tony.
Car Craft Auto Detailing I wash my car in direct sunlight because I don’t have shade but when I am drying my car the last panels have some waterspots that doesn’t come off easy with just the microfiber
Car Craft Auto Detailing Do you think is is good to use something like meguiars to mantain a ceramic coating or it it better to use something with SiO2?
Car Craft Auto Detailing awesomeee bro! Subscribed! I will see where I can buy that product in Australia. My coat is body armour 9H.. No idea what it made of though haha
Car Craft Auto Detailing thanks mate!! I'm planning to pressure rinse, foam canon, pressure rinse then use ech2o as drying aid with a few micro fibre towels weekly. Do u think its OK to do so?
Hi Sandro, great review. I was wondering if I used Poorboys EX Sealant would it be better to maintain it using Poorboys spray wax and quick detailer or does it not matter what brand I use. Thanks
I've recently started using Meguiars Ultimate Quik Detailer, and I like it a lot. It helps lift off water dots, road dirt, and garage dust quite easily. I'm using it over Meguiars Ultimate liquid wax, and I top up with Ultimate Spray wax between sealant treatments. I'm looking at going ceramic, though. I think CQuartz UK 3 is in the future. Either that or Polish Angel.
Thank you for that review , information rich and serious . I am using poorboy's world spray & gloss and it's a fine product . I have heard that the effect of quick detailers do not last long compared to waxes , what do you think ?
Man you a the best in Aus I think like my other comment true and honest views on all products including coatings I've just purchased a new car and I want keep it the same condition as new In eyes whats the product for my car I love using sealants waxes detainers etc what do you recommend
Which of these is the slickest? I'm looking for a more affordable alternative to Ammo Hydrate. He also mentioned that he added a small amount of the polymer from Ammo Skin to make Hydrate which I guess the ones with a synthetic wax/sealant would resemble it more.
Sandro will do a great review as always and I look forward to them. In the meantime I put some links on Fusoo Coat on the review he did on coatings and waxes that I found helpful.
Proper info. My favorites. #doorshuts etc : Meguiars Ultimate Waterless Wash and Wax. Zero streaking and lays a good coating. #final wipe down on glass and paint : I highly recommend Kenotek showroom shine. Zero nada streaking and the shine is 9/10 plus it lasts. Grtz, A Belgian
Have just bought FinishKare detail spray myself and is very different to what I'm used to ( Megs final inspection or Ultimate spray wax or quick detailer ) but I reckon is awesome. Very slick, brings out colour and awesome gloss. I sprayed on before drying - was very slick almost like oily and took a few wipes with soft cloth but results after a few hours is very good in my opinion. And it's cheaper than Megs
Hey there, I apologize for my late response, the notifications were off. If you want to try something new then I can recommend the following. Keep in mind that you can not compare this brand and products with which you can order online. Let us say that the quality is superior to the snow foam you use now. The product are safe for the paint ( does not dry out the paint ) and rubber. Have a look at : facebook.com/nertaaustralia/ www.nerta.net.au/cars-and-utes I recommend the Carnet Jumbo. NERTA is a rock solid Belgian brand - I'm Belgian too by the way ;) . Give it a try and you'll love it. About the NANOLEX : www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/nanolex/interior_cleaner-0 The price are not that much higher in Australia. But again, the quality is very good! Voila, hope this helps :). Grtz
Meguiar's X-Press Spray Wax given me 0% gloss on rubber/plastics. Waste of money in my opinion and every detailer/etc on RUclips recommends it. I don't understand it.
Great video! I use meguires xpress spray wax and have also used many other details sprays including bowdens own fully slick, griots garage speed shine and Adams detail spray. All fantastic products with excellent results, however none compare to xpress spray wax imo.
Car Craft Auto Detailing absolutely! also it's fantastic on leather and, well most interior surfaces. Also meguiars ultimate quick wax is exactly the same product with a different scent, meguiars admit that freely. 😊 I'm enjoying your vids mate cheers.
Car Craft Auto Detailing haha people are way too precious! a meguiars rep in their meguires chat room (can't remember what it's called) confirmed it, different scent for the consumer apparently, otherwise it is the same.
Car Craft Auto Detailing I see people going off on RUclips all the time, keyboard warrior's are everywhere! I'm not a detailer however I own a beautiful car and strive to take care of it the best I can (I drive my wife nuts with deliveries of yet more wax/polish 😂) I'm about to do my annual strip, polish and protect, M205 as polish and soft 99 fuso coat as the protection, time to see what all the hype is about! I also bought griots best of show liquid wax as a topper, but have yet to decide if I need to...... anyways I am rambling lol thanks for your reply and disregard the haters mate!
This was very helpful in describing the strengths and weaknesses of the various products. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.
Duragloss FC&S is really nice. The slick finish it leaves was a huge surprise. I thought it smelled great too, like cherries.
In my tests, Duragloss Fast Clean and Shine and Zaino Z6 were the same product. They smell the same, look the same and results were the same.

Best detail spray by far is bouncers done and dusted . Give it a try

Ok brilliant & I'm guessing from what you said it won't affect my LSP Reload as previously mentioned?
Ok thank you very much for your advice, Mist & Wipe will be my QD, bird poo remover & clay lube. It costs £10 for the 473ml bottle so is good value too in my opinion.
I have to say your very quick replies to pretty much every single person who messages you is very commendable, keep up the good work!
Your videos are going a long way in helping me put together a good car cleaning/detailing line up for personal use, so thank you.
So what's the best, if you had to pick one, to clean, wax, and shine the car for all around use?
Hi my car is a golf midnight blue and after washing it is already dirty with water marks and etc... What is the best cleaning agent + shine? Thank you!
Car Craft Auto Detailing thank you!
Once again, great video!
can i use this right after a wax job or do i have to wait a curtain amount of time after a wax job.
HI Meguiar's Mist & Wipe detailer has any wax compound? Is it water-based or oil based?
I have a question. does waxing your car help it in reducing the effect of color to fade when struck by sand while driving on a high speed? where I come from, there are lots of sandstorms nearly all the time and I really want to maintain my car. thanks
What's the different between Poorboys "Spray and Wipe", and Poorboys "Spray and Gloss" ?
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing So Spray and Gloss has additives to leave the shine on the surface, like some carnauba wax in the spray ?
Gorgeous Setup!!!
I need the best quick detailer to remove bug splatter on the front , I don't care about the gloss on a clean car.
Suggestion?
Car Craft Auto Detailing thanks man :) but I was thinking about a 100% waterless cleaning , I think I have 921 duragloss.
Car Craft Auto Detailing What do you think about the 921 duragloss? it's the cheapest I can buy.
Car Craft Auto Detailing Thank's ,but what's a waterless wash compared to a QD? 🤔
Ech2o can be used as both, but used as a waterless wash costs a lot more.
How well car pro ech2o (at qd dilution) can perform as compared to these quick wax/detailers
Car Craft Auto Detailing thanks..... i 've been using poorboys spray n gloss and it works very well for me but ech2o is bit on economical side i think...
Hi Sandro, have you tried Finishcare 425 ?, I have been using the Hi Temp wax and the Finish is excellent and a top over with 425 does great justice to the gloss and slick feel.....Thanks,
Tony.
Can meguiars xpress wax remove dried soap or those water marks right after a car wash? Have you tried griots best show detailer?
Car Craft Auto Detailing I wash my car in direct sunlight because I don’t have shade but when I am drying my car the last panels have some waterspots that doesn’t come off easy with just the microfiber
You don’t had the chance to use meguiars last touch spray detailer? Good?
One last question, between xpress wax and last touch, which one you recommend?
And what you recommend to make pop new plastic or mantain them that last months?
Car Craft Auto Detailing Do you think is is good to use something like meguiars to mantain a ceramic coating or it it better to use something with SiO2?
Btw Zaino and carpro reload , which one does hv more gloss ? And which one do u prefer as a QD amoung them?
Amazing review Sandro!! Anyway my black car is ceramic coated. which product would you recommended to best enhance gloss and shine. Many thanks
Car Craft Auto Detailing awesomeee bro! Subscribed! I will see where I can buy that product in Australia. My coat is body armour 9H.. No idea what it made of though haha
Car Craft Auto Detailing thanks mate!! I'm planning to pressure rinse, foam canon, pressure rinse then use ech2o as drying aid with a few micro fibre towels weekly. Do u think its OK to do so?

Car Craft Auto Detailing thanks fot the info but brushes to clean the entire car instead of mittnes ..

Man you a the best in Aus I think like my other comment true and honest views on all products including coatings
I've just purchased a new car and I want keep it the same condition as new
In eyes whats the product for my car I love using sealants waxes detainers etc what do you recommend
Which of these is the slickest? I'm looking for a more affordable alternative to Ammo Hydrate. He also mentioned that he added a small amount of the polymer from Ammo Skin to make Hydrate which I guess the ones with a synthetic wax/sealant would resemble it more.
Sonax BSD is great product.

Nice review mate. keep it up. cheers from india

Sandro will do a great review as always and I look forward to them. In the meantime I put some links on Fusoo Coat on the review he did on coatings and waxes that I found helpful.
You shouldn try Adams Detail Spray and Chemical Guys Hybrid V7
So many products.
Thanks for your videos......really informative and well made.
